21/M/Nairobi Am a fanatic of things that tickle my fancy
Seriously though, perfection is overrated held up in high esteem it seem Most believe perfection is the absence of the bad the ugly and the extreme Most believe that to be perfect is to be pure devoid of all the flaws or so they deem However, it all lies in the balance just like the see saw, its not the absence of flaws but the balance of it all Balance between the good and the bad as seen in nature's law Well its my opinion and everyone is entitled to one with no intent to cause offence But under the right lens all this will somehow make sense Observe, there's no love without hate and pain, we can't have light without the presence of darkness, can't tell what's good without the bad, can't tell what's real without the fakes, mistakes and aches I can go on and on about this but you get my drift you catch my pace Just like the faces of a coin, these perspectives help us to appreciate, create, associate and experience Experiences shape our perspectives and our perspective help shape our lives That's why I appreciate you... all your strengths and flaws makes you.. you. We ain't picture perfect but we are worth the picture still So just chill, you don't have to keep trying those shoes they want you to fill Life didn't come with a manual, we are all just improvising trying to cut the cloak according to our coat. Maybe you should too and Imma be here for you, just grab ahold of my hand and we will keep afloat. In my eyes you are perfect so just hold on to that boat and sail ashore, I promise there's more in store.

I guess what they say about “Out of sight, out of mind” is false, or maybe it’s just me. Time has elapsed since you left but in my mind you are still among my fondest memories. I have given you too much airplay in my mind, you monopolize my thoughts ten times out of nine. I feel weak around you, the way superman is around the green kryptonite stone. Wish I could have you, if chance would allow coz you are bad and you know it, you make cupid shoot me like aww!!! Maybe this is loneliness talking or maybe am acting on impulse, whatever it is, I can’t deny that I want you. Now this aint that Romeo and Juliet fairytale kind of love that you see in movie screens or whatever love songs musicians sing, to me that ain't true. However, I have a genuine interest in you because of the way you make me feel and the way I feel about you, this much is true. I hate the fact that am indecisive, probably u do too. Am a Libra man, always weighing out things, trying to find a balance between good and bad. But if my past experiences are anything to go by, I know that it’s a risky thing, love is. A risk worth taking. See you… you make me want to throw away my pros and cons and fall in blind, coz am already falling for you and the crazy things you do. Wish I could move on… the way boys usually do but see I … I don’t want to.  I know that feelings sometimes fade and things sometimes change but I would love to try. Wish I could bribe time, love and chance, so that I could have my way with you.  It’s not nice to toy with feelings and I don’t intend to. I realized am a man of many wishes but if I had a genie, hypothetical, I would spend all my wishes wishing for true happiness.
